Wed, 11 Jul 2012 03:00:35 +0000http://thectrlfreak.wordpress.com/?p=40#comment-226I just installed ImportExportTools yesterday and I’ve been unable to get ImportExportTools v.2.7.2.1 to do anything successfully on Thunderbird v12 or v13. Could it be because my profile and emails are stored on a non-default drive & folder? I right-click a folder and try the various export or import options and get nothing – no emails, no errors – nothing.

As you can see, the option to import is grayed out.

The reason I am contacting you is that I’ve written a book and it’s now available on Amazon.com! It’s titled “My Life With the Chord Chemist” it’s mostly a memoir but my hope is that people get to know Ted the person a little better. However, there is much to learn nestled within these pages.
I’m letting you know in case there is still an inkling of interest in guitar and Ted in your heart.
This is the only place I could figure to reach you. All the best to you, Barbara Franklin

Thu, 08 Jan 2009 21:47:03 +0000http://thectrlfreak.wordpress.com/2007/11/14/i-conquer-the-fan/#comment-138Look at these two entries:

After running these three commands, your CPU fan should be managed by ACPI, and it will turn on when the CPU gets too hot.

To have this happen automatically, as I said, put the echo 3 > /proc/acpi/fan/FAN0/state line in /etc/rc.local, and put the names of the two modules, fan and thermal in whatever file calls modules at boot time.

Do you the how-to for the fan control with Puppy Linux that you had tried?

I installed the Puppy Linux 4 on a Compaq Presario desktop PC, and the fan keeps spinning all the time.

Thanks a lot.

That said, I’ve been using the Partition Parted Magic live CD for most of my partitioning work. I also have the Gparted live CD, but I’ve had more success on my various computers with Partition Magic. I recommend it highly.

But … I do love Puppy 3.00.
